Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Compass at 3.5 against Simple Compass's 3.1. Compass also leads on iOS requirement (8.1 vs 13.0). Simple Compass's advantage is review sentiment (25% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Compass holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 13 and 14 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Compass's written reviews are positive against 25% of Simple Compass's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
